Chapter 65: Animal Games
A group of people stood on the hillside with a slight smile on their faces. Guozi, I heard that the war is quite fierce outside, and a lot of people have died, is there really such a thing? Jing Zhiyi was the first to break the silence. Jing Zhiguo heard Jing Zhiyi call him the son of the country, not to mention how comfortable he was! Listen, it's a family! It's not like the two boys of the Qi family, what kind of small country are you shouting! Jing Zhiguo hurriedly nodded. What kind of war is fighting, and when the war starts, it is the common people who suffer! Qi Yongku looked at the bottom of the mountain and said. It's pure! You fight for me, don't you still fight for yourself! Jing Zhiyi looked a little angry, and kicked a stone at his feet and rolled down the hillside for a long distance. Zhiyi, let's go to war too! You start, let's follow! Xiao Wu'er grinned and said to Jing Zhiyi with a little teasing. Several of the children paused and burst into laughter. Jing Zhiyi also laughed, good boy, when the time comes, see if you follow us! As he spoke, he kicked at Xiao Wu'er's ass, and Xiao Wu'er quickly pushed forward and dodged with his ass, and screamed in his mouth, alas! Kick us to death! The crowd burst into laughter even more cheerfully. At this time, Jing Zhiguo saw Huazi, who was looking far away towards the west, turned his face, glanced at Jing Zhiyi silently, and laughed, That smiling face is really good-looking! Jing Zhiguo thought of a word, brilliant. At Huazi's glance, Jing Zhiguo suddenly understood that the snow-white-skinned woman behind the elm bushes he saw with his mother in the wicker ditch was really Huazi!
Before the laughter had subsided, a huge black ox had emerged from the pine forest on the right side of the hillside, followed by four or five more cows emerging from the pine forest, and as they walked, they kept their heads down and nibbled on the grass on the hillside.
They're coming! The smiling faces of the second boy of the Qi family suddenly turned into excitement, and he ran towards the edge of the pine forest. Alas! It's really coming! Kuniko, go! Watch the excitement go! Jing Zhiyi shouted Jing Zhiguo, and hurried towards the edge of the pine forest. Jing Zhiguo only saw a few cows coming out of the pine forest, and he didn't know why these children were so excited, and it was estimated that there must be something interesting, so he hurriedly followed behind and ran towards the cows. The cows didn't pay much attention to the group of people running towards them, and they still kept their heads down and graze. Far away, Jing Zhiguo could hear the gurgling sound of the cow as it chewed. At this moment, out of the pine forest came a boy younger than the second son of the Qi family, wearing a small straw hat obliquely, and a long, thick whip made of cowhide with a short handle between his armpits, and the tip of the whip dragged to the ground.
Liu Si'er! Righteousness! The second boy of the Qi family rushed to the child named Liu Si'er, looked at him with a smile, and praised him loudly. That Liu Si'er raised his head slightly, his face was expressionless, a little reserved. A blackhead can only do one round trip today! What's wrong? Ming'er still has to be on the set! The second kid of the Qi family looked a little disappointed, and the second kid of the Qi family was a little undecided in that --,, so he turned his head and swept his eyes around the faces of several people behind him, and finally landed on Jing Zhiyi's face. Jing Zhiyi didn't speak, just pressed his head down slightly. Liu Si'er saw Jing Zhiyi at this time, his eyes were no longer as firm as just now, and he paused, then let's take one head out of each other, and do it again for a while, this will always work! This proposal seemed to have caught the mind of the second boy of the Qi family, and his eyes lit up. Middle! So, which one comes first? Singled out first! Seeing that they said yes twice, the people present became even more excited, and flowers bloomed on their faces. Jing Zhiguo didn't understand much at first what these two times were talking about, what was this going on? He quietly asked Qi Yongku, who was standing next to him, do the war! Qi Yongku looked at Jing Zhiguo with a smile, and saw that Jing Zhiguo didn't seem to understand yet, so he explained, top frame! Jing Zhiguo understood, he remembered reading it in a book, it seems that there is this kind of play in foreign countries, called bullfighting, and thinking that this bull top frame and bullfighting should be the same thing. Jing Zhiguo was a little excited. You know, this is absolutely not seen in the city, he has also grown up in Jingjiagou since he was a child, and he has not seen it for so many years! I wonder what the cow top rack will look like? Jing Zhiguo's heart was full of expectations. At this time, Qi Yongku muttered as if talking to himself, Liu Si'er is too fine!
In the countryside, there are so many things to look at! Green mountains and green waters, rural farmhouses, each place can be said to be a colorful picture. As for the fun stuff, that's even more, except for the nets and dragonflies that children play with in the summer, fishing in bubbles with their own fishing rods, climbing trees and digging birds' nests, and watching cats catch mice. Of course, this is not something that everyone can see. Jing Zhiguo believes that cat scratching rats is not fun, and in the final analysis, it should still be counted as a good-looking category. That's not right, Jing Zhiguo thought. That cat scratching mouse can neither be counted as fun nor beautiful, but it is indeed rare to see this kind of scene, and it can only be regarded as a lucky thing. Countrymen keep cats, of course, to catch mice. Jing Zhiyi's family raised a flower cat, which is the kind of native cat raised by rural people, which is two feet long, old yellow, and has a tiger-like markings, and everyone calls it Huahuaer. Don't look at Huahua'er as a female cat, then grab the mouse, but it's not bad at all. Hua Hua'er usually catches rats at night, Jing Zhiguo has not seen the specific way to catch them, but he saw a scene of Hua Hua'er catching rats in broad daylight, just the day after he returned to Jingjiagou.
That day, Jing Zhiguo was staying in the courtyard of Jing Zhiyi's house so boring, when he saw a mouse running out of nowhere from the wall in front of him, panicked and sneaky, and ran along the wall. Jing Zhiguo suddenly came to his senses, and was about to get up to see where the mouse was running, when he saw the flower, quietly and agilely, slipping out of the west gable. Suddenly, I probably knew that the mouse had discovered it behind it, so I no longer quietly, but quickly moved my four paws, and in a few moments jumped behind the mouse, and chased the mouse away. Jing Zhiguo quickly stood up and followed closely behind, afraid that the mouse and the cat would find out that he was following him and disrupt this beautiful game, so he was extra careful not to make too much noise. Just beside the west wall next to the courtyard gate, the flower swooped forward and pressed the mouse to the ground with her two front paws. Jing Zhiguo originally thought that next, that Huahua'er would definitely bite the rat vigorously, and the scene must be very bloody, but he was wrong. Jing Zhiguo was surprised to see that Huahua'er lowered her head and looked at the mouse, and was not in a hurry to speak, she looked left and right for a while, and saw that the mouse did not resist, so she let go of her front paws. Then he looked left and right for a moment, and then, with a quick leap of his feet, lifted up with his two front paws, and threw the motionless mouse upward, and the mouse fell from a high place, and lay there motionless. Huahua'er jumped again and threw it up, like the three. At this time, a strange thing happened, the mouse suddenly rolled on the ground for a while, got up and ran, it turned out that the mouse was not dead, but pretended to be dead. Maybe it couldn't stand the cat's torture anymore, or maybe it thought it still had a chance to escape. Hua Hua'er saw that the mouse could still run, so she chased after it. The mouse was a little frightened by Huahua'er, and wanted to climb the wall to escape, but where could he climb up such a high blue brick wall! Leave a few claw marks blank. The mouse saw that it was not good, turned around and fled east along the wall, passed the courtyard gate, escaped to the water outlet of the east courtyard wall, and drilled out of the water outlet with a halt! Flowey followed closely behind, and even drilled through the water outlet!
The courtyard of Jing Zhiyi's house has a side door in the south of the east wing, which is mainly used for walking cars, and it is usually bolted. Jing Zhiguo saw that a person of his size would certainly not be able to drill out of the water mouth! When Jing Zhiguo came out of the courtyard gate, he saw the rat continuing to flee south. But by this time, Huahua'er had already jumped up again, and once again pounced on it, pressing it under its two front paws. This time, the mouse thought it was completely over, and it was estimated that his mind was blank at this time. But this time, it's wrong again, and there's still a chance! The flower still didn't bite down, but turned it over and looked at the mouse trembling under its own paws, and saw that the mouse did not resist, and let go of the mouse again, and jumped again to throw the mouse high. The trembling rat may have felt that there was still hope of escape, but its bones had been battered, and fear had crushed it, and it trembled and walked along the gutter by the side of the road to the west. Seeing this, Jing Zhiguo was really a little unbearable, he couldn't make up his mind, he wanted to interfere in this one-sided battle. When he came out of the courtyard gate, he was squatting under the grape trellis from a distance and watching intently, when he picked up a piece of soil under the vine, stood up quietly, and was about to throw it out with his arm, when it was late, he saw that the flower had once again pressed the mouse under his paws. When Blossom let go of its two paws again, the rat was already paralyzed, unable to move. Hua Hua'er stretched out her right paw, pulled the motionless mouse to the left, and stretched out her left paw to the right for a while, and looked at it again, the mouse was completely immobile. At this time, Hua Hua'er may have had enough of playing, lowered her head and bit down on the mouse's neck, and then, picking up the mouse, crossed to the south side of the road, and jumped into the garden in a few steps and disappeared, probably looking for a secluded place to enjoy a good meal. Jing Zhiguo was there and didn't move for a long time.
After Jing Zhiguo grew up, he recalled the scene he saw on this day, and he really felt a lot of emotion. Cats, usually such docile animals in front of people, can catch rats, they are so brave, so ruthless, and so cruel. It does not kill and eat the prey at once, but keeps playing and torturing the prey, until it has played enough to kill the prey, and then is willing to calmly find a place to enjoy, the so-called cat and mouse game, what it shows is the cat's deep hatred for the enemy, the cat's courage in front of the enemy, or the cruelty of the cat's nature, it is really difficult to say. Jing Zhiguo thought again, Hua Hua'er didn't bite the mouse to death and eat it when it was alive, but waited until it was enough to play and play to death, and then took a place that no one could see, and slowly enjoyed it, was this because it couldn't bear to bite it to eat it directly, or the cruel nature of the cat itself prompted it to watch its opponent be tortured to death by itself before it was completely eliminated physically? Jing Zhiguo thought, perhaps, this game of cat and mouse is just a landscape in the animal world.
At this time, Jing Zhiyi walked to Jing Zhiguo's side and whispered into Jing Zhiguo's ear, Guozi, what's the matter? You'll see the show in a moment! Look at who can beat our Jingjiagou! As soon as these words came out, Jing Zhiguo was really stunned for a moment! He really didn't expect that this cow top frame could still be related to the same person? Is this the cow on the top frame, or is Jingjiagou on the top frame and wicker ditch? Jing Zhiguo followed Jing Zhiyi and his group, and suddenly drilled into the pine forest on the slope, and then walked up the mountain, and a clearing the size of a basketball court appeared in the depths of the pine forest. The sun shone down from the southeast sky, illuminating the clearing.
